Adventures In Spirituality
|
2015 AIS continues into November 13th
Adventures in Spirituality is a 6 week program which invites an in depth inquiry into one's self using the teachings of a featured book. This program brings book study to a whole new level. Engaging Sunday messages, small home study groups called Sacred Circles, and online community connections culminate with a celebratory social event creating a season for transformation.
The AIS Sacred Circle is a safe and intimate place for exploration, experience and growth. This adventure is designed to inspire self discovery, deepen your spiritual practice and invite honest self-inquiry. You will develop lasting sacred relationships, share insights and personal experiences, re-pattern thinking according to spiritual principles and positive thought.
If you haven't participated yet, you can still pick up a book, watch the Sunday messages on our Video Archive web page and join in the Facebook discussion group online. We thank all of our wonderful facilitators for leading this year.
